I just checked, and <menu> is in the HTML 3.2
DTD.

I just sent to www-html@w3.org so it would pick up
anyone on the list.

In some countries, you can get shot for that.
Seriously, as style sheets become a reality, it will
make more sense to mark up your doc's according to what
they are. For example, suppose you have all of your
docs on your site pointing to one style sheet (this will
probably become common) and you want to make all of your
definitions appear in blue helvetica text. so you write:
DD {
color: blue, #1010FF
font-family: helvetica, arial,;
}
But then all of that text you put in <dd> just to
indent it will appear blue, too.
